Ronan chuckled lightly. "Of course, I hope you can make it in time. Otherwise, everything will be in vain!"Sadie said, "Maybe, by the time you get there, our great-uncle will already be cured. You should know that Dark Phoenix has recently healed many prominent figures; her medical skills are remarkable."Chad turned to Willow. "My phone is broken. Please give me your phone and buy a new one when you can. I'll pay you back when I return."Willow nodded. "Yes, Dr. Jennings. I can buy a new one myself; you don't need to worry about the money."Chad took Willow's phone and got into a Mercedes Sprinter. Ronan and Sadie did not accompany him.Once inside the vehicle, Chad inserted his SIM card into the phone and saw dozens of missed calls and messages, mostly from Matilda and Youlee. Ignoring them, he put the phone away and closed his eyes to rest.Chad eagerly anticipated meeting Dark Phoenix, hoping it would be their most peaceful encounter.That was his main reason for agreeing t
The driver's tattoo was a black fox head, indicating that the driver had a guardian immortal and was a shaman.The black fox was the most powerful among the Fox family spirits in the northeastern shamanic system. The black fox guarded the household while the white fox served the shaman. The Fox family's roles were divided very specifically.After a two-hour drive, the car exited the highway at an off-ramp. Chad saw the sign indicating they were in Orcreek, a small town adjacent to Bloomington.That puzzled Chad. After seeing Micah in Jeems County, that esteemed elder, Tenan, was also in such a small town.Did those former high-ranking officials choose to retire in such places?The car soon entered a narrow road flanked by endless wheat fields. After about 20 minutes, they arrived at an estate.Once out of the car, Ronan also arrived shortly after."Dr. Jennings, please come in!" Ronan said with a smile, leading the way into the courtyard.Upon entering, Chad felt like he had en
Chad stepped out of the bedroom and saw an old man and a young man standing outside.Ronan sneered disdainfully, "Finnley, aren't you doing well in Saffronesia? Why are you back?"Finnley smiled humbly and adjusted his glasses. "Great-uncle is seriously ill. Of course, I had to come back! Besides, I brought Dr. Mueller, a great medical god from Saffronesia. He will surely be able to cure Great-uncle!"Ronan scoffed, "Oh, really? Are you that confident?"Finnley replied proudly, "Of course, you don't know how superior Saffronesian medicine is compared to Hacniane medicine!"Jasper respectfully asked, "Excuse me, where is the patient? May I see him?"Ronan laughed derisively. "He's in the bedroom, but I must warn you, my great-uncle fought against Saffronesian soldiers in the past and has hundreds of Saffronesian lives on his hands!"That statement was not an exaggeration. The senior members of the cabinet were all veterans from that era. Tenan was one of the top generals in the c
Perhaps the Ward family believed their actions were concealed enough that no one would realize Tenan had been attacked. However, Chad, Dark Phoenix, and Jasper could see Tenan's condition clearly.Ronan sneered, "What are you implying? Are you suggesting that we, his family, injured him? That's ridiculous.""Ronan, shut up!" Mercer ordered, casting a cold glance over the three doctors. "Whether the old man fainted or was attacked, we'll know when he wakes up!"Mika said, "Exactly. Didn't someone say they could wake him up right now? Let's wake him up and find out."Chad smirked internally. Those old foxes had deftly shifted the problem back to the doctors.However, Jasper said, "That's not possible. The patient has a cerebral hemorrhage. Even if he wakes up, he might lose his ability to speak."Everyone could hear that Jasper, the Saffronesian, genuinely cared about the patient's well-being.Chad also observed Jasper's diagnostic techniques, confirming that he was a very orthodo
"Dr. Jennings is right!" Toby suddenly said excitedly. "Let's wake him up and let him identify the culprit himself! If anything goes wrong during the process, I'll take full responsibility! I want to see if you, his blood relatives, are truly filial!"Mika's face turned ugly as he shouted angrily, "Even though you're technically my uncle's godson, you're still an outsider. What authority do you have to bear the consequences?"Before Toby could respond, Dark Phoenix suddenly walked into the bedroom. Before anyone could react, she had already administered the vial of Evergrow to Tenan."I don't understand why you're all dawdling. Saving a life is saving a life—so much unnecessary talk!" Dark Phoenix's words left everyone speechless.She then exited the bedroom and looked solemnly at Chad."It's up to you now!" she said.Chad, unperturbed, glanced into the bedroom and saw that Tenan's body was already enveloped in a black mist.The Evergrow had started to transform his body. Howeve
At the lobby of Bellenuite Tower in Bloomington.Chad brought lunch for his wife, Matilda Sachs. Dressed casually, he stuck out like a sore thumb in an opulent setting.Bellenuite Group was a cosmetic brand set up by Matilda, who was exactly Chad's wife. It was worth hundreds of millions of dollars."Hey, you're here! Sign this!"A lady stood in front of Chad, blocking his way. She had fine makeup on and a voluptuous body. Her cleavage turned many heads.It was Jojo Fonsey.She went to college with Chad and Matilda. Back then, she was Matilda's best friend and now, she became her secretary.Jojo looked at Chad with contempt as she flung an agreement to him.Chad was shocked and confused by her actions. He held the agreement in his hand. "What's this?"Slowly, the smile on Chad's face disappeared.It was a divorce agreement!Chad gazed at Jojo coldly and snarled, "Jojo! This is too much!"Jojo urged impatiently, "I'm not joking. Hurry up! Ms. Sachs is waiting for me!"Taken
Finally, Chad burst out in anger and snarled."Why? All these years, I've given her everything she wanted!""Now as she files for divorce, can't I see her even just once?""Hahaha!" Jojo laughed coldheartedly."Are you kidding me? You gave everything Ms. Sachs wanted? What else can you do besides delivering lunch?""I'll be honest with you. Justin Long of Bloomington just proposed to Ms. Sachs yesterday.""See for yourself. This is the video I recorded yesterday!"Chad froze as he stared deadly at the screen of the phone in front of him in rage.In the video, a charming man was proposing to Matilda on one knee. Matilda’s parents and younger brother were there too!Jojo looked at Chad, gloating, and rubbed salt in his wound."Mr. Long's grandfather is a minister in Kennington. The Long family has an extraordinary status.""The Long family has power and Ms. Sachs is loaded with wealth. They're a perfect match! Didn't you say you can give her everything?""Is your family background that g
After signing, Chad passed the divorce agreement, together with the bank card to Jojo and left.Taken by surprise, Jojo turned to Matilda. "He didn't want the card!""I know. Whatever floats his boat! I need to take care of something. You may leave now!"Matilda said with a straight as she pressed the window shut.Immediately after, tears rolled down her cheeks.After Matilda departed, Jojo dialed Matilda's house phone number.Logan Sachs, Matilda's father picked up the phone and Jojo recounted the divorce process."Ms. Sachs offered Chad 1.4 million dollars and a villa before he agreed to the divorce!""Really? That's fantastic!""Of course! Chad's no match for Ms. Sachs. After the divorce, Ms. Sachs will find someone better. Uncle Logan, I gotta go. Bye!"After hanging up, Logan was overjoyed and he shouted out loud."Celine, John, I have great news! Matilda and Chad are divorced!"Logan patted his lap out of joy and he felt like a weight lifted off his shoulders.After
